I play lead guitar, but I found I needed a bass to lay down a backing

something really cheap - hopefully to make it sound a little better
with effects. I paid 79 pounds for a Fender copy called a Legacy, with
twin pickups.

So now what do I do? The pickups are great, the neck is perfect - I
can adjust the action way down without any buzzing. It came fitted
with really nice d'Addario strings and it just sounds brilliant.

So come on, tell me why I should have spent and extra grand or so on
the real thing? I must be missing something.

Congratulations! You have discovered the truth: bass quality has
scarcely any relation to price.

These really aren't the answers I was expecting here. But they make me
very happy.

It's true...

I just picked one of these up
